The
Zonta Club of Northern Valley, NJ reaffirms its commitment
to its mission to improve the status of women and to provide
service at the global and local level. During this biennium,
the officers and directors of the Zonta Club of Teaneck-Bergenfield
will emphasize four specific goals in conjunction with
those
of Zonta International.

We
resolve to strengthen our identity and gain public recognition
on both the international and local levels. We will increase
communication with our legislators to stop gender inequality,
change attitudes that foster inequality, and urge legislation
to prohibit inequality.

The
officers and directors will continue to focus the club's
service efforts to three organizations: The YWCA Bergen
County healingSpace, The Center for Care and Hope (formerly Shelter Our Sisters), The Women's
Rights Information Center and The York Street Project. This coincides with Zonta International's
efforts to combine service and advocacy through fundraisers
to prevent violent crimes including sexual abuse, rape and
domestic violence.

Further,
the officers and directors resolve to financially support
the 2016-2018 Zonta International service projects including:
Zonta/Unifem, Zonta Star Network and Afghanistan.

Finally,
the officers and directors resolve to strengthen our organization
by incorporating the third goal of Zonta International -
"Recruit, Retain, and Rejuvenate."

These
goals and objectives in no way preclude our club from contributing
to other groups and organizations to which we have contributed
time and financial aid in the past.
